Michael Jackson In NYC

If you were outside last night you likely heard some Michael Jackson tunes blasting in homage to the late King of Pop. MTV even took a break from their reality programming to play his classic videos all night, and fans gathered at the Apollo Theater for an impromptu memorial (The Jackson 5 performed there in 1969).

Click through for some photos of Michael Jackson in New York over the years, including some images from the Studio 54 days. Did you know that a 10-year-old Anderson Cooper, in his words "for some odd reason," attended the nightclub with MJ? Hopefully he'll divulge more about the evening, and why he was there at such a young age—though it was likely his mother Gloria Vanderbilt was somehow involved.
